Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 01/17/2025 6:30 pm https://www.ebay.com/itm/186899907874 I got a chuckle out of this NGC slab. 1965 nickel, slab says 1963. Would CAC meta-encapsulate it as an "error slab"? Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 01/18/2025 12:36 pm It's a mechanical error, NGC will fix it for free, contact customer service. It has no additional value beyond an MS66 1965 nickel. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 01/18/2025 1:15 pm An indication of how much time they REALLY spend looking at the coins. I'd say a great majority of the UNC Jefferson nickels sent to NGC end up at MS66. I think they just slap them in a slab without really evaluating the coin.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 01/18/2025 4:37 pm I'm sure that someone just clicked the wrong list item in the labeling software. But they should really be doing a basic check on the slab prior to shipping. Report this Post to the Staff
